HHS Releases Infection-Control Training Video

Partnering to Heal is a computer-based, interactive learning tool for clinicians, health care professional students, and patient advocates. The training video highlights effective communication about infection control practices and what it means to create a "culture of safety" in health care facilities. Trainees follow 5 main characters and make decisions about preventing health care associated infections.

The Department of Health and Human Services, in consultation with subject matter experts from various disciplines and sectors, and patient advocates, developed the learning tool to promote a team-based approach to reducing preventable infections and deaths in the United States.
